CONTROLS
5
Your compactor will be equipped with some or all of the following
controls. Note the function of the controls that apply to your compactor so
that you can obtain the best safety and performance possible.
Red, mushroom-headed "STOP" button.
Depressing this button will
immediately shut the compactor down, in any mode, and in any cycle.
NOTE: When this button is pressed, it remains pressed. Twist to release it.
The compactor cannot be restarted until the "STOP" button is released. If
the compactor will not run, ensure that the "STOP" button is released
before calling for service! Pressing this button also enables the
"EMERGENCY RAM CONTROL" to function.
Optional Security Keypad
. When the compactor is equipped with a
digital keypad, the compactor controls will not function until the operator
enters the correct 4-digit code (enter the 4 digits and then press *). When
an acceptable code has been entered, the green LED light will indicate the
compactor is ready for operation. It will remain ready for only a limited
preset amount of time for security reasons. (See instructions below for
using the keypad to set acceptable codes.)
Lighted "START" button.
If the keypad's green LED indicator is lit, then
pressing and releasing the "START" button will cause the compactor to
start and complete one cycle all the way down and back up again, shutting
off in its uppermost position. The light in the "START" button functions as
a "Container Full Indicator." The compactor platen meets more and more
resistance at the end of its downward stroke as more and more material is
stuffed into the container. When the platen reaches its maximum pressure
and cannot press any more material into the container, the compactor will
shut down with the platen all the way down and this indicator will light as
a signal that it is time to empty the container (raise the platen before
removing the container for emptying).
